Sinopsis
Excerpt from Optical Geometry of Motion: A New View, of the Theory of Relativity
To cover up a general standpoint under a mass of detail is to run the risk of obscuring it altogether. There is always the danger that the reader may not be able to see the wood for the trees - a danger which is becoming very real in much modern mathematics.
The substance of the following essay was originally intended by the writer to form a chapter of a book of semi-philosophical character upon which he is engaged.
In view, however, of the amount of attention which the subject of Relativity is at present attracting, it seemed to him that this portion might prove of sufficient interest to warrant its separate publication.

Excerpt from Optical Geometry of Motion: A New View, of the Theory of Relativity
In placing before his readers the following brief outline of a point of view, the writer is well aware that it is far from complete in many respects. He however believes that, in the first presentment of a theory, there are considerable advantages in stating explicitly only its principal features.

From the standpoint of the pure mathematician Geometry is a branch of formal logic but there are more aspects of things than one, and the geometrician has but to look at the name of his science to be reminded that it had its origin in a definite physical problem.
That problem in an extended form still retains its interest.

Optical Geometry of Motion: A New View, of the Theory of Relativity
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel perspective on the foundations of geometry, challenging the notion that axioms are merely logical constructs. The author argues that they have a physical basis rooted in optical phenomena. The author demonstrates how geometry can be viewed as a language for describing the propagation of light, introducing the concept of "index" as a measure of time. This index serves as a means to establish a reciprocal relationship between moving particles, allowing for the calculation of distances and angles in a moving system. The theory presented aligns with Einstein's relativity principles and provides insights into the nature of space and time, offering a deeper understanding of the physical world and the relationship between geometry and the laws of physics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330287699_0
